Trying times for us all....

For those (like me) who happen to have been born in the 60's or later, we were fortunate not to have lived through the turmoil of the preceding half century. WW1, Spanish Flu, the Great Depression, WW2, food rationing - it's hard to imagine what life for previous generations that lived through most (or even all) of those times must have been like.

All told, we've had it pretty easy, at least in our little corner of the world. So whilst the Covid-19 pandemic may be the biggest issue many of us have faced in our lifetimes, it's all too easy to lose perspective.

…...but life goes on

That's not to say this thing isn't serious. It is very serious, and for some (possibly even many) it poses an existential threat. And who knows what will transpire in the coming weeks and months? Strange times indeed. Meanwhile, life goes on, and we all need to eat and drink and try to live life as "normally" as possible. 

And whilst life, health and safety are of paramount importance - and whilst I did consider taking the website down until this all (hopefully) blows over - I came to the conclusion that that would solve nothing..... and would deprive our customers of one of life's little pleasures - great wine!

Despatch schedule

For the time being, we will be limiting despatch days to Mondays and Thursdays only (but see below). For most UK mainland orders, this will mean that deliveries will be made on Tuesdays and Fridays. However, deliveries to "Highlands and Islands" will (as always) take longer. 

Please note that we are away on holiday from 15 September to 3 Ocober 2021, so orders received between those dates will not be delivered until week commencing 4 October 2021. For full details, check ourdelivery methods and chargespage.
